Online Spanish | Beginner Plus + Intermediate (May 6th-14th)

Description

May 6th-14th.
(Classes on May 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 14th)

Learn Spanish from the comfort of your home.

We are offering two options this session: Beginner Plus and Intermediate.

While the format is different than our in-person classes, the principles of what we do remain the same. We create a class environment where the Spanish is made comprehensible and engaging and where participants feel comfortable and part of a dynamic learning community. By offering this class several days in a row we hope to give your Spanish a significant boost– whether you are new to Spanish classes or have been at it for awhile.

Which class to take?

The Beginner Plus class is meant for someone who has taken an Express Fluency beginner class in the past or who has previous experience with Spanish. Our normal beginner classes focus on high-frequency verbs like “is, has, goes, wants, likes, can…”. This Beginner Plus class incorporates these verbs and builds on them.

The Intermediate class takes a pretty large leap and most of the students in this group can understand a lot of Spanish. I bring in guest visitors from Spanish speaking countries to this group so participants will have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.

Classes will be held through Zoom Meeting. You will need to download Zoom (free) in order to attend. We will send you a link when you register.

Sessions will be recorded, so if you miss a class you can watch it later.
